Number 1: Chris Paul game-winner versus San Antonio Spurs

Oh how things come full circle.

The LA Clippers and San Antonio Spurs met in round one of the 2015 NBA playoffs and it became one of the best series of the decade as the Spurs were regarded as one of the best sixth seeds of all-time.

The series ended up going to seven games after the Clippers fell behind 3-2 and picked up a huge victory over the Spurs in San Antonio over Kawhi Leonard and company and forced arguably the biggest game in Clippers history in Staples Center the same night Floyd Mayweather and manny Pacquiao would go toe-to-toe in the boxing ring.

The game was close throughout with numerous lead changes but an injury riddled Chris Paul set up the biggest shot in Clippers history to date as he drove to the cup and made a floater over Hall of Fame forward Tim Duncan to secure the victory over Gregg Popovich and San Antonio.
